Several things you should correct/edit/mention:
A – No reason not to kill all the monsters in the floor if you have enough MP regen and HP regen to not lose any mana/health when fighting said monsters (If I have 20 mana regen and 30 hp regen, it’s best to kill all monsters in the floor if they deal less than 50 dmg each).
B – Starting at level 0 is pointless. Why? Because when you’re level 20+, the exp on floors 1-10 is so terrible you won’t notice any difference. Unless if you need specific ingredients from those floors, it’s best to not go there.
C – Bleed doesn’t always work – Some monsters are immune to bleed. As such, Decimate is best.
D – Fire spell is very useful if you have 20 mana regen and you’re in floors 40-60.
E – Mortimus Iron is terrible for mana regen. If you need more mana regen, transmute the items, use escape wings, and go to floors 20-40 for MP and HP regen items (Vicious Goo and Fractal Cabbage)
F – If you’re into a mana regen build, Fungus Helm artifact is useful up until level 50 or so (Only 6 defense, but gives several elemental bonuses and +4 mana regen).
G – You confused me in the section after the Farming Methods.. Please replace “Levels 1-40, Levels 40-80” with “Floors 1-49, Floors 50-80.” Floors and levels are two completely different things in this game, this can confuse newbies.
H – Forges appear every five levels. Keep in mind that this does not include floor 50.
I – The Wizard’s secret room appears once every five floors. It never appears on floors that are multiples of five. The rooms ALWAYS contain artifacts, and can be spotted by a shiny flicker on the wall.
J) If you are on the final floor before a shop (Any floor that ends with a 9, not including 49) have only a small amount of health points left, and no pots or ingredients for pots, use your reveal map skill to locate the stairs. Stairs are a small white square on the map. If you see red dots all around it, use escape wings – It means that you cannot reach the shop without fighting. Also look for any chests that aren’t guarded by monsters, you might find an ingredient to use for a health potion.
K) Reveal Map is useful because it can also locate the Wizard’s room.
A pretty decent skill build of a level 20. I suggest you use this build. It supports both tanks and mana-regen builds, as well as a Fire spell for additional damage during floors 40-60.

So I’ve done my second test. I’ve started a single game, then once that reached 95k I exported it to firefox and hence had two exactly the same games.

The first one I reset, gaining DK’s the second I didn’t reset. After about 4 hours of play both came out at almost the same amount of DK’s. The 100k version having 2500 DK’s more than the 200k one.

I’ve also done some test on when to start investing in altars, based on this I would guesstimate the optimal strategy to be:

- build no troop building
- work the first 30-40 minutes just on money buildings
- Get altars to 50’ish
alternate between:
- Get feasible achievements for farm(200-300), market(200), goldmine(100-200) and catherdral (100)
- Get altars 100
- reset near 150k DK’s.

I disagree, it’s best to reset with the 4th achievement at least, preferably 400-500

Hey everybody! I am now going to start the second flag contest!
The first one was created by me during the beta, and the developers ended up giving a prize of 20 crowns to the winner. As of now, the contest is just for fun, if there will be any ingame rewards I will mention so.

OK, so how will this contest work?
So, basically, you can post your flag (Screenshot it) and upload it. All you need to do is to post the link either in this thread or send me a private message containing the flag, and I will update the post containing all flags so far.

Within ten days (December 15th), the uploading phase will finish. The contest will remain for seven more days just in case people who have not seen the thread in time wish to vote. When the week ends, I will announce the winner.

To keep the voting alive (I don’t want a case with lots of flags but not many votes), a contestant who posts a flag MUST also vote, but he cannot vote for himself. Each person can only vote once, and in the case that you wish to change your vote, feel free to tell me and I will transfer your vote to a different flag.
If you send me your banner without telling me who you vote for, your flag will not be entered into the contest. You can vote without posting a flag, but you cannot post a flag without voting.

Note that at the end of the contest I removed the flags from my post, so you won’t be able to see flags that were sent to me in chat. This time, I will not remove the flags.

The first two people who post their flags are allowed to wait for a third poster so that they have a “choice” in the vote. (If you cannot vote for yourself and there is only one other poster, your vote automatically goes to their flag, which is why you can wait until a third person posts a flag so that you have a decision. Likewise, if you are the first person to post a flag, you are not able to vote anyone.

I will be entering the contest, as the judges are the contestants, and not only me. If someone votes through the chat, I will announce it to avoid confusion.

sonics called bullshit one of my posts while double posting and correcting a mistake I made. I pointed out he has way more mistakes than me, that editing is some he has done, spam is something he has been doing and that he thinks his opinion must be everyone else’s. Then xland said I was derailing the thread, probably without noticing that I didn’t start this derail (I did kept it going). I used the word ‘irony’ wrong. Then you can see there xland’s last post, telling me to do something he does not do.

Thing is, I don’t have a problem with you derailing MY thread, I’m telling you that you SHOULDN’T derail threads. This thread is already 2 pages full of offtopic so it doesn’t really matter…

Jlewis is an idiot. He claimed that he was a GM and asked a blazer how he did a shoot-through-wall hack so that ‘he could ban him’. When i told him that his claim was utter bullshit, he proceeded to try and convince me that there are ‘different sections of GMs.’
He then told me that he is currently trying to get a better killstreak, and that as of now he currently has a 63 killstreak (Despite having 2 deaths and 0 kills at the time he said that)

I can understand why you’re annoyed – But derailing random threads just to settle a business with someone? I understand a lot more why he dislikes you. Please don’t derail random threads just to tell people that the way they act is ironic.

1. I used quotation marks, I thought that’d be enough of a hint
2. Check every other thread, he is the one derailing it and I’ve refrained from replying to his useless posts until yesterday. Just check them, I’m pretty sure everyone else that reads the threads know what he has been doing.

Wrong use of ‘irony’? Well, I guess you were right, I just check and it seems to have a different meaning.
I’ll just call him hypocritical

~ @myrzy please don’t try to defend me (it looks like so), you’ll lose credibility if you get involved in this idiocy

I don’t really care what he does on other threads, just because someone does something that is frowned upon doesn’t give you the excuse to do it yourself.
And I also don’t care if you used quotation marks, it’s still derailing a thread. If you have a problem with him, settle it in a private message or report him and move on.

You hate editing, good thing you didn’t edit that post where you said that you actually hacked the bomber’s nuke bomb and that you requested the report, changing it to “you don’t have any proof” or something like that.

Good thing you don’t do unnecessary quotes and don’t spam threads just because they differ with your opinion or you don’t like them.

Good thing you know that people can wait for a reply, just like they can wait for someone to finish a post.

I’m “annoyed” due to the irony.

It’s clear evidence of you being here since 2012, but that doesn’t change the fact that no one here knows about your existence. Maybe abraaz know who you are since he is always spamming the forums and stalking others.

It’s also understandable that you messed up with the names, but do it again and all the fury of the judge’s gavel will hit your face while you are getting “guilty” for crimes like that. I won’t doubt in raise an objection if it is needed.

And since you have no replies about the Blazer let’s see how this thread dies, we already proved you wrong. :3

Your disagreement is fine, I don’t mind people disagreeing with an opinion, and I also don’t mind the fact that nobody knows me considering that I was never active in chat… Although your name is the only one that is slightly familiar, although I still don’t remember who you are haha. I guess being inactive for a whole year and not having been active in chat has it’s cons.

I am starting to like the behaviour and attitude of this guy, even knowing that we have completely diferent opinions.

99.99% of the comunity should learn from this guy over here :o

Actually I’ve noticed that blazers aren’t that OP from afar, so I guess now we share the same opinions too xD

FIREFALL?! Are you kidding? Geez, I’ve been playing this since it came out in 2012(Not overly active before though) and I haven’t seen your name before.

Likewise.

If you need any proof, I still have logs of a convo with freerange from 2012 after I donated some kreds:http://i.imgur.com/28vNDK8.png
Also the firefall was a typo, there’s a game called firefall that I also play so I messed up the names haha

@xland44 , i’ve been here since this game started, and I don’t have an idea of who you are.

@PIS_DarkBeat , I am a Maj and I only own 2 classes, so he doesn’t need to have even more than 4 classes at this moment.

@abraaz , I love how you are becoming slowly into an hater, I didn’t expect that from you.

@Funny , I understand that you wanna complain about Blaster and Tank, but why not complaining about Assasins’ insta kills as well? Lucy was the one who admited that.

It’s understandable that you don’t know who I am – I did infact play as well in the first month the game was on kongregate, but about three months later I stopped playing. (And despite the fact that you now need to buy classes and some classes are much stronger than others, I still like the game).

Very often, when playing KOTH or TDM (My favorite gamemodes), I see blazers who get 39 kills and only two deaths…. About 4 minutes into the match.
Even if I use the element of surprise (Doped saber chop on blazer when he doesnt expect it, and then slash away) with the scout, I can only get him down to 50% health points – His flamethrower is way too strong, it can kill me in seconds…

Please nerf the damage of the blazer.

Hi xland, it seems like your tactics against Blazer might be a bit off.

For instance, with Scout vs. Blazer, because Scout is quite squishy and Blazer’s close range damage is so strong, it is a good idea to kite the Blazer initially and whittle it’s health down with your Submachine Gun, and only switch to your Saber for the Doped Chop when it will instakill him. Experience will help you know when that point is. If he takes out his Heat Ray while you are gunning him, feel free to use a Haze Bomb.

And as always with Light classes try to attack from an unexpected direction, and if using your gun buzz around like a bee to make yourself hard to find and lock on to. Going high and around your target’s head is an effective tactic as it makes you harder to track.

Blazer is definitely not OP in general play as its effective range is so short. Just be prepared to run away at first to create the correct spacing, and then go to town. Blazer is most effective as an ambush class, utilising walls to approach undetected (which he can see through with Spectral Optics). So be extra careful in enclosed areas like Shuttle, which is the one situation where most people learn to h8 Blazer :)

So, I’ve noticed a problem: Often times, a team is completely annihilated by the opposing team. To fix this problem, I’ve thought up a simple solution: Player ratings

Basically, whenever you play with a certain class, at the end of the game or when you quit the match, your K/D ratio is used to calculate your rating with that specific class. Player ratings on one class does not affect your rating on a different class. K/D ratio is also calculated for classes that you’ve used but don’t own (The random free class of the week). The player rating is an average of your past 10 matches using that class. If a player is using a class for the first time, his K/D ratio will be 1.0 (One kill for every death) until it can be rated.

In order to make teams fair, it will calculate all player’s rating, and find a way to split the teams into a rating that is as close as possible to the other rating’s team.

Rating may also be used for high scores or the “Medals” that are currently being worked on. In addition, you could give players an “Overall Rating” which is an average K/D ratio of all the classes the player has used.
